The aftermath of Paul's death [Part 1]

[@coombeslauren]

Such powerful acting from the actor playing Ben. I don't know if he ever received an award but he sure deserved one here.

[@laurenfisher8332]

Lauryn Kavanagh his names Harry Reid he’s a gorgeous lad ❤️

[@PBL187]

And the actress playing Pam, especially in the scenes where she was in denial about it being Paul

[@l.m.6090]

I've never seen this show or these characters before, but I swear, I have never seen an actor cry like that. He's a phenomenal talent because I nearly cried myself.

[@CaitlinMcnabb]

I did cry when I seen him cry like that you really feel it

[@Kim-ss5bb]

The monsters who do this to people should have the same thing done to them, If you close your eyes Ben sounds so much like ian

[@PBL187]

Harry Reid does actually sound a little like a younger Adam Woodyatt 😂 I disagree, I mean I wouldn't miss shits like that, and I would say they at least kinda brought it on themselves for messing with people they don't even know. But, at the same time, people who wish, or moreso, DO, that, are really not much better. Plus, what would it even achieve? It's a well known fact that for most people, doing the same back doesn't even work, doesn't make any difference or even make them feel better at all, and they have to live with it, as well as their loss. I have been prone to believe that, but it's stupid, and wrong. Justice over revenge, hopefully life (proper life), or at least a lifetime of guilt for the killer (or both)

Hard to watch this back. Actually, all these years later, I notice how incredible Johnny was as a support, how he put his own feelings and pride and wellbeing to one side in order to care for Ben. There's definitely some love there. Hopefully one day they get a chance to reconnect.

Their relationship has always been so underrated. Even when they were a potential ship (twice), people slept on them. Hopefully Johnny returns one day in the next several years, Ben becomes single, and they can try to reconnect and couple up again.
